If the machine is sold, you will be entitled to permanently transfer the Software you bought to a third party in connection with the machine, including the Dongle and the User Documentation. In this case, you shall refrain from using the Software any longer, delete any copies of the program installed from your computers and delete any copies stored on other data media or hand them over to your buyer, unless you are subject to longer statutory retention periods. Upon request by DATRON, you will be under the obligation to confirm in writing that you adhered to each and any of the aforementioned measures or give the reasons for longer retention periods, if necessary. Furthermore, you are under the obligation to include in your agreement with such third party the adherence to the scope of the granting of rights pursuant to this § 4.

You are fully responsible to save all existing data, Software and programs before receiving DATRON technical support. DATRON reserves the right to refuse, suspend or terminate technical support services in its sole discretion.

§ 7 Warranty

DATRON offers warranty for the agreed characteristics pursuant to the User Documentation and also for you using the Software without infringement of third parties' rights. Warranty for defects is not applicable to defects attributable to the use of the Software in a hardware or software environment that is incompatible with the requirements stipulated in the User Documentation or for changes and modifications of the Software made by you without being authorised by statute, the present EULA or by reason of DATRON's prior written approval.

In your capacity as a Business, you are under the obligation to examine the Software immediately upon receipt for apparent defects and communicate these without undue delay to DATRON; otherwise there will be no warranty for such defects. The same shall apply mutatis mutandis if a defect becomes apparent later on. Sec. 377 German Commercial Code ("HGB") shall be applicable.

With you being a Business, DATRON is entitled to first try and remedy the defect by choosing the type of remedy, i.e. removal of the defect or replacement. If a replacement is provided, you may receive a more recent Software version, unless this would cause unreasonable duress. In the event of a defective title, DATRON will, at its own option, either provide you with the legally permissible option to use the Software or change it in such a way that the infringement no longer persists.

DATRON shall be entitled to provide warranty services on your premises. DATRON shall be deemed to have fulfilled its remedial duties also by providing an automated installation routine for an Update on its homepage and offering the customer telephone support to address any upcoming installation issues.

This does not affect the Customer's right to either reduce the purchase price or, at its option, rescind the contract if efforts to provide a remedy fail twice. The right to rescind the contract is excluded in the event of insignificant defects. DATRON's liability shall be governed by § 8 below if the Customer claims damages or compensation of futile expenditure.

Except in the case of claims for damages, claims under warranty shall be subject to a limitation period in the event of quality defects of twelve (12) months, unless DATRON fraudulently concealed the defect, gave a guarantee for the characteristics of the Software or has been guilty of intent or gross negligence. If a data carrier is sold, the limitation period shall start upon delivery of the Software, in the event of a sale involving a download from the Internet, it shall start upon notification and activation of the Access Data from the download section. Claims for damages and claims for reimbursement of futile expenditure shall be subject to § 8.

§ 8 Liability

DATRON shall be liable without limitation

- in the case of intent or gross negligence;- for an injury or the death of a person caused through negligence;- for defects DATRON has fraudulently concealed;- pursuant to the provisions of the Product Liability Act; and- under a guarantee given by DATRON.

Damage attributable to a breach of duty based on slight negligence on the part of DATRON or its legal representatives or agents shall be reimbursable by DATRON as damages or compensation of expenditure only if a material contractual duty is affected (i.e. a duty that DATRON is obliged to fulfil and that is key to achieving the object of the contract and/or that DATRON is obliged to fulfil and whose nonadherence may jeopardise that the object of the contract be achieved). Liability for slightly negligent non-fulfilment of a material contractual duty shall be limited to an amount that would be typically foreseeable in such case.

Furthermore, there shall be no liability on the part of DATRON.

The above limitation of liability shall also extend to the personal liability of staff, representatives and organs of DATRON.

§ 9 Protective Measures. Right to Audit

You are under the obligation to take appropriate measures preventing unauthorised access by third parties to the Software and, if appropriate, the Access Data for online access. In particular, Access Data must be kept at a safe place.

Upon request, you will enable DATRON to examine the orderly use of the Software, specifically with a view to your use of the Software in line with the scope of the Licence bought as to extent and quantity. For that purpose, you shall provide DATRON with information, let them inspect relevant documents and enable DATRON, or an auditing company named by DATRON that is reasonably acceptable for you, to examine the hardware and software environment used. DATRON is entitled to perform such audit on your premises during your regular business hours by itself or have it performed by a third party that is sworn to secrecy. DATRON will make sure that its activities there will have the least possible impact on your business operations. Should the audit prove that the use exceeded the scope of the contract, you will have to pay for the audit, otherwise costs shall be borne by DATRON

§ 10 Secrecy

You are under the obligation to keep for yourself any Confidential Information of which you become aware e.g. in the course of activities permitted under Sec. 69(d) German Copyright Act ("UrhG").

You will disclose the necessary pieces of Confidential Information only to the staff required to remove errors and to oblige such staff to maintain secrecy also beyond their employment relationship to the extent permitted by labour law.

Any negligent infringement of the above provisions will be subject to consequences under civil and penal law.
